Condensation Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 1 hour ago, I Am A Fish said: The man sighed. "Fraid that's not gonna cut it partner." Two guards knocked on the door to the office. "Sir, the warden would like to speak to you." Kade sighed. "Meeting adjourned." He turned into a leopard, then walked out of the room. Concerto let out a silent breath. That was all he was going to get for now, it appeared. He waited for a long moment, counting, then at 300 seconds he crept to the door of the room and peeked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspiring Writer Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Vixen breathed in the smell of the new town. She'd used up all her goodwill in the previous one and was looking for somewhere new. She didn't know what the place was called; she'd picked a random direction and just started traveling. You couldn't be late if you didn't know where you were going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'll wait until I'm not too busy with school before I start a RP with someone. That wasn't particularly gracious of me. "I hope so too. It was nice talking with you. I just might take your advice and speak to this new mayor. Until next time!" Borodin turned away from his new friend and started towards town hall. He needed to find more information about what had happened the previous night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just might take your advice and speak to this new mayor. Until next time!" Borodin turned away from his new friend and started towards town hall. He needed to find more information about what had happened the previous night. Kuno nodded as Borodin walked off. He then looked toward Catorphia. "What a nice fellow. I know that we don't want to be late, but I assumed that if I talked as I walked, I wouldn't get too far behind." Kuno walked on towards an average building, one that looked no different from those that stood beside it. He walked up to the front door, and then he simply knocked on the door, and then he waited. After a while, he knocked once more before the door opened. Kuno walked in to find a short man sitting on an armchair, watching the fire. Kuno nodded to him as he took a seat. "Well met Arminio, how goes?" The only response were thoughts that came to Kuno's mind, they obviously weren't his. No time for any small talk sir, we have important business. Kuno frowned. "How much could have possibly happened while I was working here?" More than you know. To sum it all up, Concerto is out of the picture, his replacement is who was suspected if such a thing happened, and mobilization has been ramped up. "From controlled to relative chaos, it seems we might be getting busy soon. It's fortunate that I was successful here." Might not be enough, there might never be enough. All I know is that they are preparing far faster than before. We also have been hearing whispers of something big coming, but it's difficult to get anything down as a fact. All we know is that whatever is coming will be an intimidating obstacle. Kuno furrowed his brow. "Too much is happening, first this Chorale comes, then Concerto is out of the picture at this moment. I need to know more, we need more information." It's you're call. "How much do we know of this new leader?" Name is Kade, very popular with his followers, no chance of getting him replaced with someone more . . . amiable. Has a tragic backstory that pushes him forward, a personal vendetta against humanity and such. I believe that an individual was mentioned, the Amal hunter if I recall. He has something big in the works, something that worries our informants. Kuno stroked his chin before looking directly at Arminio, who still watched the fire. "I need more information on this new leader and his actions before we take too many actions of our own. I need Ghost Division fully active, call up all of the reserves and move them into active duty." The thoughts developed a sense of concern. Would it be too much to call on the Ghosts? "I disagree, it's when we know nothing that we call on the best. For if we know that it's bad enough that we need the best, then we've already failed. Information is key." It is your will, so it is mine. "I also want all garrisons on the defense. Don't be too overt, but be prepared." Of course. "Then I need a conference, we need to be prepared." Is that all? Kuno smiled. "I still need the full report of course." Arminio looked at Kuno with the fire reflecting in his blue eyes. Very well Things were moving fast, but Kuno could live with that. This was what he was preparing for all along. If things wanted to escalate, then he would like to know how. After all, one couldn't work with or against something that he didn't know anything about. Yes, information was key, and Ghost Division couldn't fail to get it to him. Things had changed, but if he got the information, then he would adapt. All things considered, it was going relatively smoothly so far. 18 hours ago, I Am A Fish said: Quote He rented out some extra office space, he's trying to avoid keeping all of his eggs in one basket.

The Ward's Guard Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Jane moved swiftly through the Amal settlement. Fortunately, Rala had told Jane what she needed to know, and now she could check things out for herself. Now, she had to double check the information that she had received, because faulty information was no good to him. She darted swiftly from one house to the next until her destination came in view. The building they used as a prison was unassuming at first glance, but it was easily the most secure building in the entire settlement upon closer examination. She walked in to find the guard looking rather bored as he worked his shift, he looked up as Jane entered. Jane smiled. "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while." The guard returned Jane's smile. "Aye, I thought you were working abroad." "I am, technically speaking. Although right now I figured that it was better to show my allegiance to Kade. Would hate to be a traitor you know." "Nothing wrong with that, but what brings you here? If I recall, Kade has been busy literally everywhere but here." "I wanted to see him for myself. I thought he was invincible you know, and now that he has been rather quickly and quietly taken care of, I wanted to check to make sure that this is all true." "I suppose that makes sense, although I'm not really supposed to let anyone in there, you know?" "I just want to see him, see what he looks like, see him like I never thought I would." The guard pondered this for a while, then shook his head. "I suppose that a quick look couldn't hurt." "Thank you so much, You have no idea how much this means to me." "I can get where you're coming from, I myself thought that he would put up more of a fight." The guard turned and led Jane down to the prison cell. As the two walked down the hall that led to the cell that held Concerto, the guard stopped abruptly; Jane tried to peak around him until she saw why he had stopped. The door to Concerto's cell stood wide open, and there was a distinct lack of a prisoner in it. The guard only stood there in shock. Jane looked over the scene and saw that the second cell that presumably held Chorale was still closed. The guard started stammering. "I-I-I don't- I-he was just here." "Don't talk to me about it, check on the other prisoner." The guard ran over to the closed cell and looked inside before he ran past Jane, yelling at her as he ran out the door. "Watch the prisoner, I need to tell Kade now!" Jane watched as the guard ran out of the door, she then smiled as Vulles became concerned. There's no way that it's that easy. Who am I to turn down a blessing from the Mother? Jane made her way towards the closed cell; it'd be a crime to waste such a perfect opportunity to talk with such an important individual. She looked inside the cell. @Condensation Edited November 5, 2020 by TheWard'sGuard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivace paused her prowling about her cell as she heard conversation coming from outside her cell. She listened carefully(it was easier than she thought it would be) and heard them walk down the hall toward her cell. They paused some feet away, then the guard ran off. Apparently Concerto had escaped, mused Chorale. And he didn't even try to take me with him? She felt a pang of... weakness run through her and pushed it down. She looked up as the single pair of footsteps approached her cell, unsheathing her claws in case this presented an opportunity to escape. Quote Aerith and Kimora need to get here soon...
